The community around CiviCRM is both welcoming and vibrant. CiviCRM as a software solution is a powerful and flexible data management solution for a vast array of nonprofit organizations ranging from the startup NGO to the established multi-million dollar foundation. In our daily work we are seeing more and more NPOs moving away from proprietary systems and single vendor SaaS solutions and embracing the open source community around CiviCRM. Organizations using CiviCRM love the extensibility and the freedoms that come with open source, freedom to choose hosting, freedom to choose project partners, and the freedom to re-use, re-purpose and re-deploy without paying extra.

We help many not for profits implement CiviCRM through consultancy, training, configuration, support and custom development. Many of them come from a painful world of old Access databases, multiple spreadsheets and even paper. I love presenting demonstrations to new potential users; many are shocked by the scale of the software. CiviCRM is suitable for so many different organisations as it's been developed to cover so many bases off the back of community calls.

I maintain our own CiviCRM client database; it feeds into our drupal intranet to provide me with all the information I need at a click. I would be lost without it!

Also whatever the problems we are facing there is a solution on forums, or we will get the proper guidelines to solve the issues. Big salute to the CiviCRMcommunity :)

CiviCRM In Libya

Submitted by Paul on April 3, 2012 - 08:13

CiviCRM In Libya

In the process of encouraging grassroots democracy, The American Embassy USAID, the embassy’s cultural office has lent its presence and assistance to democratization activities in Tripoli and other Libyan cities by supporting Libyan NGOs, civil society efforts, and local political organizations in other locales.

International assistance provides help and support for NGOs and organizations that run projects to improve the livelihoods of local communities to stand a good chance of getting these grants.

Tripoli University’s Program for Rebuilding Libya joint effort with the United States Embassy organised a two day event held at Tripoli University on the 13th -14th  of December 2011. The event was the city’s largest ever Civil Society Showcase. The audience were a mixture of civil society organizations and international non-governmental organizations.   

Miller technology took part on the first day with a presentation on CIVICRM open-source software, highlighting this cost effective solution for NGOs to manage their organization’s operations.

The audience had no previous knowledge of CiviCRM however there was a lot of interest in the product if translated to Arabic language

The start of the transaction project of Civi component to Arabic using Transifex

Where we go from here?

We recognise that this translation project is an on going process and will take time to accomplish. However we believe that the simplicity and cost effectiveness of the product should make it an attractive option to the Arabic.

By introducing CiviCRM in Libya we are helping to bring  CiciCRM to be recognised in that part of the world.

We welcome any ideas from the CiviCRM community on how to move this forward .

Sounds interesting. My guess is that if we don't have people in our own community or through the people you met in Libya with the skills for the translation then it would make sense to directly approach the communities that are likely to have arabic language skills. I would imagine it wouldn't be that hard to track down advocacy groups / religious groups with an interest in helping Libya
